I've had a busy summer with not a lot of project time, but the pouch above was made from Bonnie and Camille's Daysail fabric with a pattern from Amy Sinibaldi's book Sweetly Stitched Handmades. The embroidery is my own design.

This potholder was made for my kitchen and it's from a vintage pattern. I made it with Dishie yarn from Knitpicks, which I have found to be the BEST worsted weight cotton ever!

This little kitten was fostered and adopted out of our clinic this summer. He was a cute one! If anyone knows anybody in need of a cat to adopt, I'm currently fostering five or six lovely adult cats. :)

My garden has been a flower bonanza this year, but also sort of weedy!

And lastly, this fabric needs to be made into something! It's Bloom and Bliss and I love the colors. The print scale, for the most part, is perfect for small projects like doll dresses but also for larger ones. This is a fat-quarter bundle but I may need to get yardage of a few prints, too.

About Me

I live in a little house near a beaver pond and marsh. By day, I'm a small animal veterinarian and now a mama. I enjoy making and crafting things, vegetarian cooking, and collecting dolls. This blog showcases my sewing, embroidery and other needlework projects, as well as the occasional bit about life in my little piece of the world. If you want to find me on Instagram, my id is elizabethswhimsies and I mostly post my sewing and quilting projects there.
